tracy
I think the relevant question is not "where did the WMD go" but "when is the last time Iraq had any".
If the answer is "years ago" then it matters a great deal. Apart from anything else it means the Iraquis were neither lying nor a threat.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
